“Si sos brujo: A Tango Story”

“Si sos brujo: una historia de tango” (original title)

Stars: Emilio Balcarce, Leopoldo Federico, Ernesto Franco, and more…

Si Sos Brujo is a heartfelt, inspiring film that could do for Argentine Tango what the Buena Vista Social Club did for the music and musicians of Cuba illuminating an evolving culture, a way of life and the triumph of preserving one of the most intricate musical traditions of the world, following nearly 50 years of relative obscurity.

This beautifully shot documentary brings the compelling story of a group of young Argentine musicians racing against time to learn and preserve the elegant and nuanced music played by the legendary Golden Age tango orchestras of Buenos Aires in the 40s and 50s.

If you are familiar with the names of Pugliese, Troilo, Di Sarli and D’Arienzo, this film is essential viewing.

“Tango, Our Dance” (English Subtitled)

Interviews with milongueros, Argentine Tango masters and performers in 1987.

Director Jorge Zanada spent years researching and recording the Tango’s place in Argentine culture.

The sensuality and stylized ritual of the tango are captured in this illuminating documentary.

Most riveting are the milongueros-the amateur dancers who preserve the pure, traditional steps.

Their intimate stories about their personal experiences reveal the intensity that feed their individual Tango styles.

Numerous tango aficionados, including actors Robert Duvall and Juan Carlos Copes (star of Broadway’s TANGO ARGENTINO), make special appearances. A passionate valentine to what Martha Graham called “the most beautiful dance of this century.”
